BERLIN. May, 16.-Prince Bismarck

They Must Hang.

SANTA FEE. N. NJ. Nay 16.-To-day
Governor Ross forwarded the death
warrant of ?. J. 0'Donnell who will be
executed at Silver City next Friday, the
same day that Jasper Thompson will
be hung in Socorro. This will finish the
quartette of murderers about which
there has been so much public discus
sion. There are three more men in jail
charged with murder, one in BernaliIlo
and one in Sierra County, who will very
likely hang If the public version of their
crimes proves to be correct.

The Blue LAWS.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The blue laws
were even more rigidIy enforced to-
day in the city than last Sunday. In
consequence the saloou-keepers on the
Jersey side did a rushing business.
Thousands of people. Germans especi-
ally, crowded the ferry boats on their
way to enjoy the music and beer. In
the hotels the enforcement of the Law
evoked much indignant comment. In
many cases guests had purchased bot
ties of wine on Saturday and to-day
brought them from their rooms to drink
at meals. At the Brunswick, Delmon-
ico's and other uptown hostleries in
tense stiffness reigned in the barrooms.
At the Hoffman House the bar was
draped in black.

Ono very funny custom Of the theatres
here, is their manner of keeping their re-
served seat diagram, the seats being
marked upon itby small holes, in which
are placed wooden pegs. When you buy
a reserved seat the ticket seller removes
the peg from the hole you have selected
and gives it to you as your check. The
ushers know the seat it designates by the
Length or color of the peg. As soon as
the act drop falls every gentleman puts
ON his hat. rises in his scat, and turns
about to take a view of thehouse through
his lorgnette. They subsequently pass
into the aisles to greet their friends, and
remain there talking until the prompter's
bell warns them that another act is about
to begin. Then they hurry to their
places and remove their hats. The APP
pearance of Mexican theatre between
the acts-its aisles crowded with groups
of men talking and gesticulating wildly
would cause an unsopl iisticated American
to think that free fights were In progress
all over the house. Very few ladies
wear hats or bonnets in the street, sub
stituting blnck lace mantillas instead,
and even these are dispensed with Mt the
theatres hair being deliberately
dressed-and as the majority of the gem

pearance of Mexican audience is very
